The actress will be raising money for Alzheimer’s Research UK 43 years after her father ran the inaugural London race.
Actress Ruth Wilson is ready to follow in the footsteps of her father, who took part in the inaugural London Marathon in 1981, by running the race this year to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK.
She will be joined by family members on April 21, including her brothers Toby, Matt and Sam and her nephew Theo, with the group already raising more than £15,000.“There’s zero chance of us getting anywhere near Dad’s time, but he will be in our hearts and driving us towards the finish line,” Wilson said.
“I’ve been astounded by people’s support for our fundraising. This run is for Dad, but also for anyone who has been through a similar journey with their loved-ones.A cure for dementia is in sight. Research holds the answers, but we can’t do it alone.
